The deputy First Minister recently attended an event that I hosted here at Parliament Buildings celebrating the role of young people across North Belfast and Newtownabbey who took part in the CIT programme. Will the deputy First Minister join me in congratulating Northern Ireland Alternatives for the excellent work…
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) the post-primary schools in the North Belfast constituency that will benefit from the £3 million in digital devices announced on 6 June 2024; and (ii) the number of devices each school shall receive.
Mr Speaker, I apologise to the House for not being in my place for topical questions yesterday. Minister, thank you for that response. In your response to my question for written answer, you stated that the previous Health Minister did not submit a bid to you for additional funding for the hospice. With new leadership…
Delivering the new school at Seaview will be vital for the local community. Just as important as our school buildings, however, are those who work in them. I particularly think of our non-teaching support staff. I know that the Minister shares my commitment to ensuring that they receive the pay and grading review that…
On behalf of myself and the Committee, I welcome you back to office, Minister. I welcome your commitment to the FE sector and highlight your point that it is important that the sector and its campuses serve the communities in which they are located. In his recent discussion with college principals, did the Minister…
I congratulate Mr Nesbitt on his appointment. I also congratulate him on his vision and positivity. Across Northern Ireland, people want to hear from our Ministers about what they can deliver and not constantly about what they cannot deliver. With that in mind, the Member will be aware that the Northern Ireland…
I rise to formally welcome the clearing on Friday of the two PSNI officers who had faced disciplinary proceedings after investigating a potential breach of COVID regulations in February 2021. Belfast High Court deemed the decision to suspend one of the officers and reposition the other to be unlawful and a response to…
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for his assessment of efforts to prevent sewage pollution in bathing waters and recreation areas, such as lakes and beaches.
The Member will be aware that the House set a trajectory through the Vote on Account that the Executive want to follow. I will respond — it happens rarely in the House — to some of the legitimate charges that have been levelled against other Executive parties by the official Opposition and, indeed, the unofficial…
First, Mr Speaker, I welcome you back to the Chamber. It is good to see you back in good health, sir. I congratulate Seaview Primary School in my constituency of North Belfast, which, last week, celebrated its 90th anniversary, representing 90 years of excellent education provision to the community of lower north…
To ask the Minister of Education whether his Department will seek to increase the level of funded nursery places at TLC Nursery, North Belfast, for 2024-25.
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on the request for an extension of double yellow lines to prevent issues around pedestrian safety on Ashgrove Road, directly facing Ashgrove Primary School, Glengormley.
I thank Mr Boylan and colleagues for bringing the motion this evening. It is, as others have said, a very important subject. As it was for Mr McCrossan, so it was for me one of the first issues that I raised in a Member's statement, and I instantaneously received an email from the Association of British Insurers…
I thank the Minister for his statement and his clear focus on trying to meet the housing demand since being appointed. Does he agree that he could go further by looking at allowing the Housing Executive to be able to borrow once again, so that it can return to building its own homes, given that it is best placed to do…
I thank the leader of the Opposition for tabling the motion. If I had tabled this uncosted motion in my name, I wonder whether I would have ended up on another SDLP graphic condemning me for doing so. I note that, in its motion, the SDLP asks Ministers to bring forward a support package, and they will happily do the…
I offer my heartfelt thanks and congratulations and those of the people of north Belfast to Mr Stephen Baxter BEM, as he marks his retirement as manager of Crusaders Football Club, bringing to an end the tenure of the world's longest-serving football manager. Appointed manager in February 2005 at a time of great…
